Michigan Weather Forecast Brings Mild Days Before Midweek Rain and Weekend Clearing

Southeast Michigan and much of the state will stay mild and mostly dry through Tuesday, with sunshine and highs generally in the 70s. Patchy, locally dense fog may briefly disrupt morning commutes in parts of Michigan; drivers are advised to slow down, use low-beam headlights and leave extra following distance. Rain chances rise from late Tuesday or Wednesday, with showers becoming more widespread Thursday as a cold front crosses the region; heavy rain and severe weather are not expected. Some showers may linger into Friday, when temperatures fall into the 60s, before drier, sunnier weather returns for the weekend.
The National Weather Service forecast about one-half to three-quarters of an inch of rain over 36 to 48 hours, with higher totals expected west of southeast Michigan.
Rain could reach communities near the I-69 corridor and the Thumb on Wednesday morning, while most of southeast Michigan may stay dry until later in the day.
The rain is expected to draw moisture from the remnants of a Pacific tropical system, and forecasters see a low chance of thunderstorms Thursday as the front passes.
Wednesday night is forecast to remain notably mild, with overnight temperatures holding in the mid-60s.
